Up to 17.6 liters per square meter accumulated in this town at 18:00 in the afternoon. It also rained in the palm municipalities of El Paso and San Andrés y Sauces, which registered 13.6 and 11 liters per square meter. A rain that at different points was also accompanied by strong wind, in fact, yesterday the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) kept the yellow warning activated due to strong gusts of wind in La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro.
The gusts reached 80 kilometers per hour both in the town of El Paso and in the Gomeran municipality of Vallehermoso and the wind blew equally strongly in Izaña or at the La Palma Airport where they exceeded 74 kilometers per hour. The Aemet had also foreseen a drop in temperatures and the possibility that precipitation could be in the form of snow at the highest levels.

But in other parts of the Archipelago, the thermometers also dropped considerably and, for example, in Vega de San Mateo, in Gran Canaria, the temperature was 2.7 degrees at 8:00 yesterday.
